CONNECTING A USB HARD DRIVE – 124
Mapping A USB Drive (Windows Only)
1. Right- or left-click the WD Quick View icon in the system tray to display a menu.
2. Move the pointer over or click to select your USB drive and display a submenu:
3. Select Map [USB name] on the WD Quick View submenu. The Map Network Drive
screen displays:
4. Select the desired letter from the Drive drop-down list.
5. Click the Finish button.
Note: When Windows attempts to reconnect a Mapped Network Drive after a
restart, the “Unable to reconnect mapped network drives” error may appear.
This can occur if the username and password of the My Book Live Duo drive
do not match the current Window's username and password information.
During the automatic reconnection process, Windows may attempt to send
the current Windows username and password instead of the
My Book Live Duo device username and password specified during setup.
Attempting to open the mapped network drive prompts a new login window.
Enter the My Book Live Duo device username and password to reconnect
the share, allowing it to be accessible again (until the next reboot). For more
information on this problem, see Knowledge Base Answer ID 6745.
Creating a Shortcut to the USB Drive (Windows only)
Select Create Shortcut on the WD Quick View submenu for your USB Drive. An icon
representing the USB drive displays on the desktop.
